Division in the Court over Schley Findings in Navy Inquiry
The court of inquiry into Rear Admiral Schley's conduct in the Santiago campaign issued two reports signed by Admiral Dewey. Benham and Ramsey formed the majority condemning Schley on eleven points while Dewey endorsed a minority view that he was the sole commander on July 8, 1898. The secretary of the navy will likely amend his signature to approve the record.

Admiral Dewey Defends Action In Santiago Campaign Findings
Admiral Dewey submits six points disputing the majority view of the Santiago action. He states the voyage from Key West to Cienfuegos was rapid and coal in bunkers ample for the fleet.
